    75 years of China-Russia ties / Lebanon developments: on the verge of an all out war?

    On Friday's Backchat, Global Focus talks about China-Russia relations, as the two countries mark 75 years of bilateral ties.

    In a congratulatory message sent to his counterpart Vladimir Putin, President Xi Jinping said that China stood ready to deepen "practical cooperation" with Russia, which was among the first countries to recognise the PRC.
    The bolstering of ties between the two neighbours comes amidst rising geopolitical tensions, with China expected to play a more prominent role in ceasefire talks surrounding the war in Ukraine.
    The two leaders are expected to meet later this month at the BRICS Summit in the southwestern Russian city of Kazan.
    In the second part of the programme, we talk about the latest developments in the Middle East, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iran's launch of over 100 missiles at Israel.

    2024-25 budget review: lifting of housing curbs / Electric vehicle support measures

    Presenters:Andrew Work and Mike Rowse

    On Friday's Backchat, we talk about the lifting of property curbs -- also known as "spicy measures".

    Introduced over a decade ago to rein in speculation, the Special Stamp Duty (SSD), Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD) and New Residential Stamp Duty (NRSD) are no longer needed to be paid when purchasing a home, in what the real estate sector hopes will attract more buyers. The measures were announced by the Financial Secretary Paul Chan on Wednesday.
    Speaking on a Cantonese phone-in programme following his budget speech, Mr. Chan said that this is the right time to get rid of the levies, citing little speculative activity and adequate home supplies.
    However, the minister highlighted that his administration would keep an eye on the market situation, and be ready to re-introduce the curbs if needed.
    After 9:45, we'll gather views on the extension of electric vehicle tax incentives.
